TUESDAY,
"THE ROOT OF EVIL."
In another part of today's Citizen
we publish the first Installment of
Thomas Dixon's great story which he
has named "The Roofof Evil." This
name, of course is taken from the
Bible, the authorized version of
which, In I Timothy, 10th verse of
the 6th chapter, declares that "The
love of money is the root of all evil,"
but which in the revised version is
rendered thus: "The love of money is
the root of many kinds of evil." Mr.
Dixon's mind naturally runs to bibli
cal names for his productions, at
least for suggestions along that line,
as witness his first story of " The
Leopard's Spots."
Talking about "The Root" reminds
us that another Dixon, James Henry
Dixon, who lived in England and who
died in 187G, wrote something along
that line, as follows:
"God made bees, and bees made
honey,
God made man, and man made
money;
Pride made the devil, and-the devil
made sin;
So God made a coal-pit to put the
devil in."
So much for the title of the story.
Now, wo urge you to turn to the
opening Installment to-day and read
it. If you don't, you will bo sorry
later on when you hear your ac
quaintances discussing its many mer
its. In order that everybody may have
a chance to read this story and, inci
dentally to get acquainted with The
Citizen, we begin with this number
to put a sample copy into every
iHonesdale and Hawley home, as well
as into the homes of Texas township
people. We shall continue to do this
for four weeks, when we are very
suro you will be so pleased with The
Citizen that you will actually feel
that you "cannot keep house without
it."
TAFT, LIKE "BARKIS," "IS
WILLINV
Right in the midst of the present
agitation along the lines of tariff re
vision, some recent utterances of ex
President William H. Taft, are time
ly and full of interest. Hero is the
way Mr. Taft puts it:
" If wo are to have free trade let's
have It, and let the party that favors
it vote for it. Let's try it."
The remark was made at .New
Haven, Connecticut, on May 5, in
the second of his lectures on ques
tions of modern government, at Yale
University, of which ho is professor
of law. Mr. Taft also declared that
the three objects of " the now
school of political thinkers who
style themselves Progressives, are to
prevent corruption of government by
corporation Interests, to creato an
equality of opportunity for all men,
and to equalize property holdings to
some extent. Persons who do not
concur with this school in the ex
act method of arriving at the true
purpose of popular government,
which is to make for the happiness
of all the' people, are called reac
tionaries. Those of us who fall in
this category must bo content, but
wo must never cease fighting."
Somo people fondly believe that
popular government can bo a possi
bility without political parties. On
this subject Mr. Taft said: "Popu
lar government is impossible with
out parties. A group of men who
are willing to sacriflco minoi details
for the sake of a consistent course
for tho accomplishment of a few
main things is necessary for efilcacy
In government."
EPISCOPAL CHURCH ON RIGnT
TRACK.
It is not probable that the Episco
pal church will change its name, but
there will bo a lot of talk along
that line, and that won't hurt any
thing indeed, out of the talk there
may issue a large amount of good.
Then, again, there may not; but at
last week's session of tho annual
convention that was held In Phila
delphia, after much discussion, the
commission on social service report-,
ed an unanimous resolution requir
by the Citizen Publishing Company.
MAY 13, 1013.
ing a health certificate before mar
riage by an Episcopal rector.
Whether the change in name
amounts to anything or not is ques
tionable, but that such a resolution
amounts to something is a surety.
This is an age of viciousness as well
as of progress. The two are running
a pretty close race, and it is high
time that some steps were taken to
protect public health and family
happiness.
The action taken by the Episcopal
church at Philadelphia is so sane and
so right that all the other denom
inations will speedily fall in line.
It is Well enough to weigh tho right
of divorced people to re-marry, but
it is much better to take steps to
preserve public health and morals,
for such steps will tend to check the
constantly increasing number of ap
plicants for relief from the miseries,
real or Imaginary, of ill-advised and
hastily contracted marriages.
In speaking to the Young Men's
Guild of the Lutheran church, at
their annual banquet, Judge Searle
recently said, among other timely
utterances: " The care of the body
is the greatest asset any young man
can have." The Judge's statement
is right in lino with the action of the
Episcopal church, and all who act
and talk alQng those lines aro pro
gressive in all that that term implies.
RECEIPT FOR "CORONER'S
COCKTAIL."
Here is a news dispatch that is a
mixture of the gruesome and the
gay:
Chicago, May 8. Coroner Pe
ter S. Hoffman, of Cook county,
has evolved "a coroner's cock
tail," which he guarantees will
stimulate business for tho cor
oner. This is the way to make
it:
"Take three girls and three
men and soak in champagne un
til midnight; squeeze into an
automobile; add ,a dash of joy
and a drunken chauffeur. Shake
well and servo at seventy miles
an hour. Coroner's inquest is
the chaser."
Such a combination, if made ac
cording to directions, will surely do
all that is claimed for it. The
lamentable part of it all Is that the
combination is being compounded in
all parts of the country, and that
there are so few who will heed the
good old sign, "Stop, Look and
Listen!"
JUDGE FULLER EXONERATED.
As was anticipated from the be
ginning of tho impeachment proceed
ings that were instituted against
Judge Henry A. Fuller, of Luzerne
county, the special committee com
pletely exonerated him from every
chargo that had been preferred
against him.
This is no surprise to those who
know Judge Fuller's character,
which as that of men and officials
go, is beyond reproach. There prob
ably is not a more honorable or more
conscientious official and citizen at
large in tho entire State.
Several members of the committee
of Investigation wanted to include in
their report of exoneration a rebuke
and censure to tho attorney who
preferred tho charges; but, very
properly, this was not done, as the
man had perfect legal right to pre
fer charges if ho did it in no spirit
of malice or revenge, but honestly
desired to promote the public good
and more thoroughly to establish
purity in tho methods of judicial ad
ministration of justice in our State.
It is generally believed, however,
that personal ill will and malice were
back of tho accusations.
There was only one of tho eigh
teen charges that caused a moment's
hesitation on tho part of the com
mittee in reaching their conclusion,
and that was tho specification rela
tive to the case of Troxell vs. Spring
Brook Water Company. In this case
Judge Fuller granted an Injunction
restraining Troxell from Interfering
with the water company in making
use of certain water rights belong
ing to the defendant, which Injunc
tion, according to tho petitioner, was
made more drastic than sought by
the plaintiff.
The report shows that tho allega
tions in this case warranted an In
vestigation, especially as certain rel
atives of Judge Fuller were inter
ested In the water company, and ho
himself was a stockholder and direc
tor in a bank which held stock in the
concern. These circumstances were
gone into by tho committee, but tho
conclusions reached show that they
did not justify Impeachment and that
Judge Fuller's conduct has been
consistently honorable.
Now, Tho Citizen wonders if those
newspapers that, in season and out
of season, published every bit of ad
verse" criticism and uncalled for In
nuendo against Judge Fuller will
now have the common decency and
fairness to utter somo word of apol
ogy for having joined in an effort
for his destruction. Right minded
men are always anxious to make the
amende honorable when circum
stances warrant it; but, alas, there
are others, and somo of them In the
Journalistic profession, who will nev
er right a public wrong, but will al
low their public utterances to stand
and, in all their bitterness and un
fairness, to be handed on and on un
til they are lost in tho vanishing
echoes of the years to come. Some
body most truly said, " It is better
to be right than to be President."
MORE BUSINESS FOR HONES
DALE. From what can be learned it is
evident that Honesdale has yet to
see Its best days. The calamity
howler, who is more or less promi
nent in every town, has had his say;
but really, now, what does it amount
to? Things are readjusting them
selves and the people of Honesdale
have all reason to believe that this
town will out-class several of her
sister towns before long. In fact,
Honesdale is far ahead of a number
of towns and some cities, from a
manufacturing standpoint. The ar
ticles made in Honesdale are not
limited to the United States alone,
but large quantities are shipped to
foreign countries. The name of
Honesdale Is therefore known
around the globe. Is it any wonder,
then, that people who come to this
place regret to leave after having
spent a few days, yea a few hours
in picturesque Honesdale!
The factories in Honesdale are so
located that they do not in any way
obstruct or detract from the beauty
of the town. Some of the factories,
by the way, are covered with ivy
and other creeping vines, which take
away in a measure, tho factory ap
pearance of tho buildings.
With the assurance of the trolley
road coming into Wayne county,
there are certainly good times not
far away. The development of this
section of Pennsylvania is something
that will be received with great joy
and will mean hundreds of dollars
worth of increased business to the
merchants of Honesdale and also to
the farmers through whose land the
proposed lino may pass. The road
cannot come too soon.
Increased business will follow in
tho wake of the trolley road. New
industries will bo induced to build
on the route of the line; dwellings
will bo erected, and property at
large will be enhanced in value.
There is not a person, who will not
bo benefitted directly or Indirectly.
It is child talk when men of means
and in business state that the more
people that come to Honesdale the
higher will bo the living expenses
and rent. Competition in business
also was mentioned. Now, bless
your dear old heart, Mr. Merchant,
you don't want to do all the business
In your lino. , Surely you are not
that selfish!
There is a strong Influence being
used to bring about certain condi
tions that in a few days Tho Citizen
may be privileged to announce to Its
readers concerning a project that
will mean a big proposition to our
community. Mum Is the world until
then.
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS
CONFERENCE.
Seventh Day Adventists in various
parts of Pennsylvania are preparing
to attend tho world conference of
that denomination to be hold in
Washington, D. C, May 15th to June
8 th, which will bring together a del
egation of believers in the faith from
all parts of the world.
The East Pennsylvania conference
will be represented by President
Richards and two other delegates.
Every state In the Union will be rep
resented by delegates, in fact, every
country in the world.
All the leading ministers in the
United States and Canada will be in
attendance. The leaders of tho do
nomination in Europe and Australia,
as well as those of tho 'mission sta
tions in Africa, Asia and tho islands
of tho sea, will also come. Black
skinned and yellow skinned men
who have been reclaimed from
heathendom to Christ, some of them
having been among man-eating
tribes, are expected to lend greatly
to tho power of the Gospel by their
presence, in fact tho gathering will
bo made up of races such as never
before were seen In a meeting of
this sort. Over 500 tents will be
pitched for tho housing of the peo
ple which will number over 4,000.
Large pavllllon tents will be pitch
ed for tho meetings and 30 meetings
will bo held each day.
Not only will problems confronting
tho whole denominations be consider
ed, but tho leaders of the different
departments, comprising the educa
tional, college and academies of the
denomination in this and other
countries, the religious liberty, book
men, young people's society. It
will be business every day from morn
till night throughout tho whole three
weeks' session. A big problem will
bo that of planning to Increase tho
missionary forces in all parts of the
world. With tho leaders of each
field and mission present, the needs
of each will be laid before tho dole
gates; and not only will new re
cruits be furnished, but large sums
of money will bo appropriated for tho
spreading of Seventh Day Adven
tist doctrines.
Another problem that will be con
sidered is that of dividing tho world
Into six divisions in order to work
out tho problem the denomination
has taken upon itself. "Tho gospel
to all tho world in one generation."
A MILLION THOUSAND BRICKS.
Lower Hudson River Region Describ
ed by United States Geological
Survey ns Vnst Brlckcry.
It 'is difficult to realize tho enornf
ous quantities of brick used annually
in Greater Now York. During 1912
the consumption was over 1,000,000
thousand. The principal source of
this vast quantity is tho 'Hudson Riv
er roglon, which extends along both
sides of the river from New York
City to Cohoos and embraces ten
counties, nine in Now York and one
in New Jersey. Other sources of
supply are the Rarltan River region
of New Jersey and the Connecticut
region.
Tho year 1012 was one of unusual
Interest in tho Hudson River region.
It opened with an increasing demand
for brick, and the price for common
brick was $7 a thousand, compared
with $4.25 in 1911. For several
New Horse Talk
Some little idea of what I am
doing may be realized when it is
known that last week I
Sold O Nntivo Horses
And 10 Iowa Horses.
That surely Indicates that Wayne
County people want horses, but It
also goes to prove that those same
people know GOOD HORSES when
they see them.
Horses Tried Out
I alternate my teams on street
sprinkler work. This does two
things it gives the horses proper
exercise and it affords proof of their
ability to work satisfactorily.
Horses on Hand
I have some splendid horses in
my stables. There are matched
teams, and some heavy horses. They
won't bo on sale very long, however,
as they are too good to keep.
People Not Afraid
Time was when people were afraid
of horse dealers. Such a condition
ceased to exist long ago at my
stables. They learned that tho horse
business could be conducted as hon
estly as any other kind of business.
I satisfy my customers and give them
a square deal, and thoy have found
out that my guarantee means all that
it represents.
Used to Farm Work
My stock of Iowa horses are all
used to farm work. They are only a
few days out of practice, and take
hold right quickly when removed
from my stables to your own farms.
If you want a good horse take my
advice and call SOON on

years the use of cement or concrete
In construction appeared to be dis
placing brick to somo extent, but
owing to tho strong "back to brick"
movement tho year 1912 saw in tho
New York market a chango favoring
brick as the best building material
for many purposes. Influences that
have contributed to this change are
tho failure of somo concreto build
ings, tho advertising campaign car
ried on by the brlckmakers, and the
improved quality of the Hudson Riv
er brick. The average price was the
highest sinco .1906.
Tho marketed product in 1912
was larger than that of 1911 and
would probably have been still
greater but for tho scarcity of labor,
especially at Haverstraw, and the
strike among the brlokmakers In
the Newburgh district. The Btrike,
however, was of short duration, but
the scarcity of labor drawn away by
large construction enterprises, such
ns the Catskill aqueduct, railroad ex
tensions, and subway operations,
was a serious drawback to the Hud
son Rlvor brlckmakers in 1912. This
condition was so serious that the
operators resorted to night work and
rainy-day work dn loading barges
nnd imported laborers from tho
South.
An Important development during
the year was a large increase in the
use of Rarltan River brick in Now
York city, which has for some years
been drawing on the Rarltan region.
In 1912 the demand for this brick
was very much greater than ever
before.
On tho whole the year may be
considered one of prosperity. The
demand was good, prices were high,
the mild weather toward the end of
the year permitted shipments to its
very close, and while the marketed
product was not the largest record
ed, it was considerably larger than
that of 1911.
The statistics gathered by Jeffer
son Middleton, of the United States
Geological Survey, show that the
number of brick marketed in the
Hudson River region in 1912 was 1,
019,259,000, valued at $5,850,770, or
'$5.74 a thousand, compared with
920,072,000 brick in 1911, valued at
$4,717,633, or $5.09 a thousand.
This was an increase in 1912 of
93,187,000 brick and of $1,133,137
in value. The number of operating
firms reporting in 1912 was 12G. As
in other branches of the clay-working
industry, the number of active
firms reporting is not equivalent to
the number of yards, for many firms
have more than one yard.

"Heart to Heart Talks About Advertising"
By Roy B. Simpson.
(Copyrighted 1911 by R. B. Simpson.)
The best advice that can be given
to advertisers is DON'T MISREP
RESENT YOUR GOODS.
You cannot make a repeater of an
inferior article you cannot become
permanently successful in business by
flirting with the truth in your adver
tisements. A large manufacturer of a house
hold specialty learned this to his sor
row after it was too late. He spent
$200,000 last year for advertising
his device at half the price of other
widely advertised machines used for
the same purpose.
The advertisements stated that this
machine would do more and hotter
work than any other, regardless of
price. For a few months the vol
ume of business was very great but
soon the sales began to drop in
leaps and bounds.
Investigation showed that disap
pointed purchasers were warning
their friends against buying this arti
cle and competitors wero proving the
falsity of the advertised claims. Tho
manufacturer then discontinued his
advertising until the public could
forget it, and he is now making good
by selling his goods on their merits.
A well-known Philadelphia hatter
advertised "A $3.00 hat for $2.00."
It was claimed to be a famous make,

Theso two examples illustrate tho
folly of untruthful advertising. An
inferior article advertised to be
something better than It really IS
will not be sold twlco to tho same
customer. It can never bo a re

real bargains. Advertising has mado
the people shrewd, discriminating
buyers. A careful shopper will spot
an honest value as readily as the
most capable buyer on tho dealer's
staff.
Ws believe advertising Is here to
stay. The best evidence of this is
the continuous growth of the sub
stantial concerns using these col
umns. Every successful merchant knows
that It costs money to obtain good
will and a reputation. The money
expended for advertising must not
only sell tho article advertised, but
must mako tho customer come again
and again.
